Although one would expect captain Otoyo to break down due to the loss; turns out that this was more of a celebratory event as their dad lived enough to see his children and grand children grow.

From Otoyo’s post, we understand that the old man died at 80 years; which would explain why Otoyo refereed to him as a Mugumo tree.
